Re: Great Lakes Regional!

66 stuck out the most, being to was the only team to cap a vision tetra in autonomous mode.

326 also caught some attention; it has its human player stack 2 or 3 tetras onto its appendage (I guess that's the best word for it), which it lifts up high and drops onto the goals. The tetras always seated correctly.

279 was also cool with its tetra hopper

Although the practace rounds aren't officially scored, I must say that scores seemed a little low. Of course, it picked up toward the end of the day, and I'm sure scores will be higher tomorrow. Drivers just need to get more comfortable putting the tetras on top, many robots today were only scoring 1-3 tetras.

Anyway, most impressive would have to be 66. Best autonomos by far, and in general it's good at scoring the tetras.
